I thought the same thing! We had a sign like that up here, but they just changed it. Now it has a square Shreddie (boring) beside a NEW! Diamond Shreddie (exciting!). I think I liked it better when you had to think about it, and felt proud when you finally got the joke.
At first I thought that the Diamond Shreddies would be kind of kite-shaped and therefore different than the square ones, but when I realized that they were the SAME, I was shocked!! and appalled!! that I had been bamboozled.
